Machon Gold
Machon Gold was an Orthodox Jewish girl's seminary (originally co-ed) founded in 1958 by the Torah Education Department of the World Zionist Organization and named after Rabbi Wolf Gold, one of the signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence.[1] It was arguably the first such seminary intended for students from the US.[2] The school closed in 2008 due to financial considerations. [3]
It was one of the few Religious Zionist seminaries for English speakers in Israel.[4] It was located in Jerusalem, in the Geula neighborhood.[5][6] In the two decades before closing, most students were post high school, continuing their Torah Study for a year or two in Israel; prior to that, most students came as part of a study abroad program in college.[7][8]
The school's faculty included Nechama Leibowitz and Rabbi Yeshayahu Hadari (who later founded boys' seminary Yeshivat HaKotel).[9]
Classes emphasized Halacha, Tanakh and Hashkafah, and included courses in Gemara, Mishna, Musar, Jewish philosophy and Jewish history. [10]
Students graduating from Machon Gold received a teacher's license from the Israel Ministry of Education.[11]
